I applied online. I interviewed at Smithbucklin in Dec 2017
Interview
Initial phone screen was requested after a week and a half from when application was submitted (thanksgiving weekend affected). The interviewer was from their headquarters in Chicago and she was really sweet and organized despite the fact that she held the interview for almost an hour and made it dull towards the end. Then, I had to take the timed writing assessment which was pretty chill. After a week, I was offered to have another phone interview with the hiring manager in Washington, DC. This interview was pretty short compared to the first one and I was told I would be contacted within two weeks. The next process was the in-person interview at their office in DC, but just received an email yesterday saying they decided to move on with another candidate for this position. ALSO, I DO WANT TO MENTION THAT THE ENTRY-LEVEL SALARY IS SO LOW FOR THE LOCATION. THERE IS NO WAY YOU CAN AFFORD YOUR LIVING WHILE YOU'RE GETTING PAID ONLY $40,000/YR IN DC UNLESS YOU LIVE WITH YOUR PARENTS OR RENT ONE TINY ROOM THAT BARELY FITS YOU.

Interview
It started with a quick phone interview, then interviewed with two people over zoom, then passed on to final interview with one person. Then offered the position. Standard interviews to make sure I would understand the role as getting an idea of how I could provide value.

Question 1
What motivates you, and how do you stay organized?
I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Smithbucklin (Washington, DC) in Dec 2018
Interview
The interview process was entirely too long. The recruiter called 5 minutes late for the phone screening and said that she would have to reschedule our call for the next day. (As if interviewees don't have lives) The first in-person was just okay. The second interview seemed promising, but I believe my salary range was too high for this position. They seek top talent in a city where the cost of living is extremely high! If students graduate from a top 100 school, there should be no reason why a reputable company lie SmithBucklin is unable to offer at least close to a $50K starting salary!! Do your research on starting salaries, recent grads!!

Question 1
Would you handle an issue in person or over the phone first?
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Smithbucklin (Washington, DC) in Apr 2018
Interview
Was emailed to set up a phone interview which went well. I talked for about 45 minutes with the recruitment person who was really nice, we basically just went over my resume and she allowed me to ask questions. A week later I came in for an in person interview. It was around 2 1/2 hours long and felt repetitive to me because I met with two different groups of employees who basically asked me the same questions that were asked before. I thought I killed the interview but days later they called and said they went with someone else.
